There are now a couple of pigeons walking around Seattle with darts stuck through their heads. The darts went through a space on the pigeon's head that exists between the pigeon's eye and brain, so that the dart do any damage to their brain. However they could die of infection if the darts aren't removed and the wounds cleaned.

While it is abusive to shoot these pigeons in a way that kills them in a slow, painful and inhumane way, the PETA whining is unbearable.

"This is just a horrifying case," she said. "Someone who would do this
to an animal is a short step away from doing this to a human being."
